You may be old school enough to have played the originalDragon WarriorandFinal Fantasytitles, but are you down with the vintage Falcom? If you are one of the proud geeks, you’ll know aboutYs, the action-RPG series that missed the mainstream in the U.S.
If you’re a fan, or you want to learn about the series’ roots, you’ll be glad to hear that Gamestop has leaked that Atlus is bringing remakes of these titles to the DS. According toSiliconera, the originals come together in a two-game bundle calledLegacy of Ys: Books 1 & 2, now sporting 3D graphics, multiplayer action, and a new translation. Those that know Falcom also know that their games are packed with fantastic music, and this new version is supposed to have a remixed score. Nice.
Gamestophas this listed as a Feburary 10, 2009 release. No confirmation from Atlus yet. We nabbed their screenshots to share with you in the gallery below. Above you’ll find a trailer for the Japanese DS releases ofYs IandII, which were actually sold separately.
[Update: An email to the Atlus Faithful confirms the release. They also include avideo trailer for the US release.]
